22 billion Coral Embryos Frozen To Save Great Barrier Reef

In a race against time, scientists from the Smithsonian Institute and Australian Institute of Marine Science are freezing billions of coral embryos and sperm from Australia's Great Barrier Reef in an effort to catalogue present day species and one day restore them there. Part of the process involves removing corals from the reef and bringing them into aquariums to spawn. The sperm and embryos are then suspended in a liquid nitrogen chamber and the coral glued back in its original location on the reef! The ambitious project is directed by Rebecca Spindler whom is confident her techniques will help reseed wild populations.

30 Gallons new setup

Hello everyone,

Here is a brief resume about my experience! Started keeping Freshwater fish about 20 years ago, biggest freshwater tank I got was a 125 gallons Takashi Amano style DT. I have switched to Saltwater reef keeping about 3 years ago, when my wife bought me a Biocube 8 Gallons. Kept it for 3 years with basic lighting and mostly LPS, had and still have a True Percula Clown couple in the tank.

About 3 months ago the Biocube back window cracked on me and I had to change the tank, went for a 30 Gallons 30X18X13! Also decided to go with a Refugium 20 Gallons to put all the equipement (Skimmer, Phospban, Heater) also have some LR and Mangrove, Colerpa and Cheato in it to filter my water. The tanks has been running for 3 months and

You Lost A Rubber Bushing To Your Sedra Skimmer Pump What Now?!

You were cleaning your Sedra skimmer pump probably for your ASM skimmer and you lost the rubber bushing. Or in my case you bought a used skimmer that was missing the rubber bushing on one end of the shaft and you either A. dont want to buy a new one or B. No lfs carries them and you havent ordered offline yet. Well dont worry I got your back. Heres a quick idea I came up with to temporarily solve your problem. (Note: my ceramic shaft is actually broken in half but still works fine)

First find some polyurethane 1/4" tubing you probably have laying around from your rodi system, cut 3 apx 1/4" long pieces, split 2 of them length wise so you can open them like hotdog buns. Slip the closed one around the end of the shaft, and then the 2 open ones over each other on top of that one. Slide into front housing and your good to go for a short time. Please view pictures to understand what I am rambling about.
